Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Wonderful parenting guide for new parents
Parenting Young Children by Dinkmeyer and McKay. I have used this book for years for teaching parenting classes to young parents who have trouble setting limits on their children, to stop yelling, repeating themselves, and how to start listening and understanding behavior. I now give it to new parents for their first born.
Rating:  - Not worth it
The basic point seemed to be that if you pay attention and listen to your child all will go smoothly. This seems like a no brainer. Would you be buying the book if you weren't paying attention? The suggestions for discipline, although practical, were very basic. For example, have faith in your child, notice effort, listen for feelings, teach them to cooperate. Most parents already know these things.
Rating: - Parenting Young Children
This is a great aide in the many challenges of parenthood. I have found it useful over and over again.
Rating:  - Parenting Handbook
This handbook provides a great foundation for conducting discussions and introducing positive discipline practices to young parents. It is simply written with each chapter introducing a new skill. I have used it for the past several years and although I supplement with extra information from various sources, it remains the core of the Parenting Class that I teach.
Rating: - Still Using this Book!
Purchased this book about two months ago, when my son was five, and learned from it tremendously. Wish I had it before he was born so I could have understood his "misbehaviors" from the beginning. Better late than never! Every page of the book is easy to read and implement. The examples given were exactly what I was experiencing. The book shows you how to change and it's up to you whether you want to become a better parent. I hope you purchase it - it's worth the money.
